A member asked:
How long does it take for the swelling to go down in abdominal surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What was the surgery? How long was the operation? Was it open or laparoscopic surgery? Generally several days to a week or more may be needed depending on all of the above. Eat light, avoid constipation, contact your surgeon for concerns or problems like increasing pain or recurrent vomiting.
